LOS ANGELES - April 7, 2016 - In its third week of release, "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice," is sharing the reins with Melissa McCarthy's "The Boss" at the top of Fandango's Fanticipation movie buzz indicator, scoring a powerful 81 and 80 points out of 100 points, respectively.

Among new releases, McCarthy's R-rated comedy is outselling "Tammy," her previous feature with husband-director Ben Falcone, at the same point in the Fandango sales cycle. The new first-person-perspective action flick, "Hardcore Henry," is appealing to fans of high-octane entertainment, outselling "Hitman: Agent 47" at the same point in the sales cycle.

"Movie fans in search of a date night or girls' night out are looking forward to Melissa McCarthy's latest outing as ‘The Boss,'" says Fandango Managing Editor Erik Davis, "while action fans will revisit the big-screen showdown between Batman and Superman in its third weekend or plan to take a wildly innovative ride with ‘Hardcore Henry.'"
